UNSPSC 85522020: Supplement left subclavian vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left subclavian vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 05U64JZ

UNSPSC 85522020 Supplement left subclavian vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — left subclavian vein supplementation via synthetic graft using an endoscopic approach — but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not procure such procedure-specific supplies or services. Instead, the opportunities posted under 85522020 span administrative health services, employee benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular surgery implants or endoscopic vein supplementation. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal HR divisions, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, and county health systems; issuers span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code's apparent mismabeling in the source creates a practical procurement mismatch for vendors seeking to pursue legitimate vascular surgery implant or endoscopic procedure work.

Recent opportunities posted under the code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services related to disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach's solicitation (HR26753, RFP, due October 7, 2026) for surgical procedure carve-out networks managing Centers of Excellence for orthopedic, cardiac, spine, and weight-loss procedures through bundled payment models; the Washington State Department of Transportation's request (RFP20260825, RFQ, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth; and Collier County's PBM services RFP (258414, RFP, due April 9, 2026, representing historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million). Business development professionals tracking this Commodity code should treat it as a data-quality flag rather than a procurement category reflecting actual vascular surgery implant demand in state and local markets.
